There is a lot at stake for the Bruins when they take the field at the Rose Bowl against the Washington Huskies tonight at 7:15 PM PST. Before last Saturday debacle against Utah the Bruins had a swagger after the game there was disbelief and doubt. The Bruins have always responded positively after a loss during the Karl Dorrell regime. For that trend to continue, the Bruins will need a herculean effort.

It would be bad enough if doubt was the only enemy. After all, a few hits and a couple positive plays, the swagger can return, but this team will have to do it with their depth.

By all accounts UCLA's depth is the best it has been for a very long time. Now is the time for the backups to seize their opportunity and live up to their expectations.
